An interesting point of comparison between these two albums....With UF they were all about the Eno ambience. They looked to him for expertise and guidance and didn't seem to go too much against his ideas, one example being EPAA. With NLOTH, U2 were looking for something a little more experimental & out there than the very straightforward ATYCLB & BOMB but seeked something more balanced and mainstream. The decision to drop "Winter" and put in "...Crazy Tonight" is analogous to if they had dropped EPAA and / or 4th of July on UF and put in The Three Sunrises and Love Comes Tumbling. I just think this is an interesting comparison & the difference makes sense. With UF, I don't think making a mainstream album was a huge concern. They really wanted to explore a new sound. With NLOTH, as with everything since POP, they were trying to make the perfect record. These 2 both have a lot of great things about them but because of songs like Pride, Bad, and Wire UF ranks 2 or 3rd for me with NLOTH coming in around 5th as far as album rankings.
